1 Corinthians Chapter 14 - | Early Church Bible

1: Pursue [G1377] the [G3588] love , and be zealous [G2206][G1161] for the [G3588] [things] of wind/spirit/breathing '[G4152]! but more [G3123][G1161] that [G2443] you should prophesy [G4395].
2: For the [G3588] [one] [G1063] speaking [G2980] a language [G1100], not [G3756] to men speaks [G2980], but the [G3588] to God '[G2316]. For no one [G3762][G1063] hears , but in wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151][G1161] he speaks [G2980] mysteries [G3466].
3: But the [G3588] [one] [G1161] prophesying [G4395], to men speaks [G2980] for edifying [G3619] and [G2532] comfort [G3874] and [G2532] consolation [G3889].
4: the [one] [G3588] speaking [G2980] a language [G1100] edifies himself [G1438][G3618]; but the [G3588] [one] [G1161] prophesying [G4395] assembly [G1577] edifies [G3618].
5: But I want [G2309][G1161] you all [G3956][G1473] to speak [G2980] languages [G1100], but more [G3123][G1161] that [G2443] you prophesy [G4395]; for greater [G3173][G1063] [is] the [G3588] [one] prophesying [G4395], than [G2228] the [G3588] [one] speaking [G2980] languages [G1100], outside of [G1623] unless [G1508] he interprets [G1329], that [G2443] the [G3588] assembly [G1577] edification [G3619] should receive [G2983].
6: And now [G3568][G1161], brothers , if [G1437] I should come [G2064] to [G4314] you [G1473] languages [G1100] speaking [G2980], what [G5100] will I benefit you [G1473][G5623], unless [G1437][G3361] I will speak to you [G1473][G2980] either [G2228] in [G1722] revelation , or [G2228] in [G1722] knowledge [G1108], or [G2228] in [G1722] prophecy [G4394], or [G2228] in [G1722] teaching [G1322]?
7: Even [G3676] the [G3588] lifeless [things] a sound [G5456] giving [G1325], whether [G1535] pipe , whether [G1535] harp [G2788], if [G1437] a distinction [G1293] to the [G3588] tones [G5353] they should not [G3361] give [G1325], how [G4459] will be known [G1097] the [thing] [G3588] piped , or [G2228] the [thing] [G3588] being harped [G2789]?
8: For also [G2532][G1063] if [G1437] a concealed sound [G5456] a trumpet [G4536] should give [G1325], who [G5100] will make preparations [G3903] for [G1519] battle [G4171]?
9: So [G3779] also [G2532] you [G1473] through [G1223] the [G3588] tongue [G1100], if [G1437] not [G3361] a well-marked [G2154] word [G3056] you should give [G1325], how [G4459] will be known [G1097] the [thing] [G3588] being spoken [G2980], for you will be [G1063] into [G1519] air speaking [G2980].
10: so many [G5118] Since [G1487] by chance [G5177] kinds [G1085] of sounds [G5456] there are in [G1722] arrangement '[G2889], and [G2532] none [G3762] of them [G1473] voiceless ;
11: if [G1437] then [G3767] I do not [G3361] know [G1492] the [G3588] ability [G1411] of the [G3588] sound [G5456], I will be to the [G3588] [one] speaking [G2980] a barbarian ; and [G2532] the [G3588] [one] speaking [G2980] with [G1722] me [G1473] a barbarian .
12: So [G3779] also [G2532] you [G1473], when [G1893] you are zealous [G2207] of blowing airs (ghosts) '[G4151], for [G4314] the [G3588] edification [G3619] of the [G3588] assembly [G1577] seek [G2212] that [G2443] you should abound [G4052]!
13: Therefore [G1355] [let] the [G3588] [one] speaking [G2980] a language [G1100] pray [G4336] that [G2443] he should interpret [G1329]!
14: For if [G1437][G1063] I should pray [G4336] in a language [G1100], the [G3588] wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151] of me [G1473] prays [G4336], the [G3588] but [G1161] my intellect [G3563][G1473] is unfruitful .
15: What [G5100] then [G3767] is it ? I will pray [G4336] with the [G3588] wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151], but I will pray [G4336][G1161] also [G2532] with the [G3588] intellect [G3563]. I will strum [praise [G5567] with the [G3588] wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151], but I will strum [praise [G5567][G1161] also [G2532] with the [G3588] intellect [G3563].
16: Since [G1893] if [G1437] you should bless [G2127] with the [G3588] wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151], the [G3588] [one] filling the [G3588] place [G5117] of the [G3588] common person [G2399], how [G4459] will he say [G2046] the [G3588] Amen at [G1909] the [G3588] your [G4674] thanksgiving [G2169], since [G1894] what [G5100] you say [G3004] he does not [G3756] know [G1492]?
17: you [G1473] indeed [G3303] For [G1063] well [G2573] give thanks [G2168], but the [G3588] other [G2087] is not [G3756] edified [G3618].
18: I give thanks [G2168] to the [G3588] God '[G2316] of me [G1473], than all [G3956] of you [G1473] more [G3123] with languages [G1100] speaking [G2980];
19: but in [G1722] assembly [G1577] I want [G2309] five [G4002] words [G3056] through [G1223] the [G3588] my intellect [G3563][G1473] to speak [G2980], that [G2443] also [G2532] others I should instruct [G2727], rather than [G2228] ten-thousand [G3463] words [G3056] in [G1722] a language [G1100].
20: Brothers , not [G3361] children [G3813] be [G1096] in the [G3588] senses [G5424], but the [G3588] in evil [G2549] act like infants [G3515], but in the [G3588][G1161] senses [G5424] complete [G5046] become [G1096]!
21: In [G1722] the [G3588] law [G3551] it has been written [G1125] that [G3754], In [G1722] other languages [G2084], and [G2532] by [G1722] lips [G5491] other [G2087] I will speak [G2980] the [G3588] to this people [G2992][G3778], and [G2532] neither [G3761] thus [G3779] will they listen to [G1522] me [G1473], says [G3004] Boss '[G2962].
22: So that [G5620] the [G3588] languages [G1100] for [G1519] a sign [G4592] are , not [G3756] to the [G3588] [ones] trusting '[G4100], but to the [G3588] unbelievers ; the [G3588] and [G1161] prophecy [G4394] [is] not [G3756] to the [G3588] unbelievers , but to the [G3588] [ones] trusting '[G4100].
23: If [G1437] then [G3767] should come together [G4905] the [G3588] assembly [G1577] entire [G3650] in one place [G1909] the [G3588][G1473], and [G2532] all [G3956] languages [G1100] speak [G2980], and [there] should enter [G1525][G1161] common people [G2399] or [G2228] unbelievers , will they not say [G3756][G2046] that [G3754] you are maniacal [G3105]?
24: And if [G1437][G1161] all [G3956] prophesy [G4395], and [there] should enter [G1525][G1161] some [G5100] unbeliever or [G2228] common person [G2399], he is reproved [G1651] by [G5259] all [G3956], he is examined by [G5259] all [G3956];
25: and [G2532] thus [G3779] the [G3588] hidden [things] [G2927] of the [G3588] his heart [G2588][G1473] open [G5318] become [G1096]; and [G2532] thus [G3779] falling [G4098] upon [G1909] [his] face [G4383] he does obeisance to [G4352] the [G3588] God '[G2316], reporting that [G3754] the [G3588] God '[G2316] really [G3689] among [G1722] you [G1473] is .
26: What [G5100] then [G3767] is it , brothers ? Whenever [G3752] you should come together [G4905], each [G1538] of you [G1473] a psalm [G5568] has [G2192], a teaching [G1322] has [G2192], a language [G1100] has [G2192], a revelation has [G2192], a translation [G2058] has [G2192]; all [things] [G3956] for [G4314] edification [G3619] let be [G1096]!
27: Whether [G1535] a language [G1100] anyone [G5100] speaks [G2980], [let it be [G2596] two [G1417] or [G2228] the [G3588] most [G4183] three [G5140], and [G2532] by turn [G3313], and [G2532] one [G1520] let] interpret [G1329]!
28: And if [G1437][G1161] there should not be [G3361] an interpreter [G1328], let him be quiet [G4601] in [G1722] assembly [G1577], to himself [G1438] and [G1161] let him speak [G2980] and [G2532] the [G3588] to God '[G2316]!
29: And prophets [G4396][G1161], two [G1417] or [G2228] three [G5140] let speak [G2980], and [G2532] the [G3588] others scrutinize [G1252]!
30: But if [G1437][G1161] to another it should be revealed sitting by [G2521], the [G3588] first [G4413] let] be quiet [G4601]!
31: For you are able [G1410][G1063] one by one [G2596][G1520] all [G3956] to prophesy [G4395], that [G2443] all [G3956] should learn [G3129] and [G2532] all [G3956] should be comforted [G3870].
32: For [G2532] blowing airs (ghosts) '[G4151] of prophets [G4396] to prophets [G4396] submit [G5293].
33: not [G3756] For [G1063] he is of commotion the [G3588] God '[G2316], but peace [G1515], as [G5613] in [G1722] all [G3956] the [G3588] assemblies [G1577] of the [G3588] [ones] pure '.
34: The [G3588] women [G1135] of you [G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] assemblies [G1577] [let] be quiet [G4601]! for it is not [G3756][G1063] committed to care [G2010] of them [G1473] to speak [G2980], but let them be submitted [G5293]! as [G2531] also [G2532] the [G3588] law [G3551] says [G3004].
35: But if [G1487][G1161] any [G5100] to learn [G3129] will want [G2309], in [G1722] house [G3624], their own the [G3588][G2398] husbands let them ask [G1905]; shameful for [G1063] it is for women [G1135] in [G1722] assembly [G1577] to speak [G2980].
36: Or [G2228] from you [G1473] the [G3588] word [G3056] of the [G3588] God '[G2316] came forth [G1831]? Or [G2228] to [G1519] you [G1473] alone [G3441] it arrived [G2658]?
37: If any [G1536] thinks [G1380] to be a prophet [G4396] or [G2228] of wind/spirit/breathing '[G4152], let him recognize [G1921] what [G3739] I write [G1125] to you [G1473]! that [G3754] of Boss '[G2962] they are commandments [G1785].
38: But if [G1487][G1161] any [G5100] be ignoring , let him be ignored !
39: So that [G5620], brothers , be jealous [G2206] the [G3588] to prophesy [G4395]! and [G2532] the [G3588] to speak [G2980] languages [G1100] be not [G3361] restrained [G2967]!
40: All [things] [G3956] decently [G2156] and [G2532] according to [G2596] order [G5010] let be [G1096]!
